  • I think the first jet was built by the Romanian H.Coanda (Paris,1910).It is true that it caught fire,not because of the plane itself,but because of the extruded gases generating so called "Coanda effect",that took three decades to be fully understood...

  • The Meteor is acknowleged to be the first jet aircraft. Frank Whittle proved the engine back in the 1930,s. the German ME62 was in the air first, but the US stuff for the most part was all nonsense

  • I think the first jet aircraft was the heinkel 178.

    The me262 was the first operational jet fighter.

  • The Me 262 was one of the first jet aeroplanes but it wasn't the first - it wasn't even the first German jet! It was one of the first to enter service though, entering service about the same time as the British Gloster Meteor.

  • ye first one was russian BI-1 constructed in 35 days in 1941.

  • The first jet engine plane was created by the Romanian Henri Coanda not by the Germans

  • Were are these aircraft? I'd like to go see them.

  • Russia has worlds biggest bomber they always have had it. First real bomb was Russian made and it was huge ass airplane from WWI and it made this sound you could hear from another country....

  • WTF!!! ok this ticks me off, my comments finally show up after 3 days... of trying to leave a comment! all of them! sorry everyone, my bad.

  • Sorry, there are a lot of videos here to keep track of

  • dont worry dude not your falt, wait a second, did you set to approve comment lol dont be affraid to delete some of my comments, really... i mean save yourself some space, and it will save me from looking like a fool.

    ps great vid XD 5/5

  • But we did make the first powered aircraft that was heavier than air that flew. but thats not the point, I dont know why some people have to treat all Americans like crap just because some of them are over prideful!

  • Actually the Germans made the first working jet towards the end of world war 2.

  • The Me 163 Komet was a rocket propelled interceptor

    and not jet powered.

  • Actually the 262 was first operational jet.....not the first jet. I believe Italy and the Britain were first with the technology. It was almost simultaneous development by 3 different countries.

    The ME262 was awesome bird for 1940's

  • yah the first operational jet was the me-163 Komet

  • wtf lol "these things whirl around" "and um uh" damn! i had to laugh

  • thats not american

  • Stupid uneducated Americans..... and they think that everything in the world was first made by them.

    Μαλάκες γαμω το σπίτι σας.

  • Shut up moufakos, not every American is that prideful, we dont have the biggest airplane, Russia does. We dont have the biggest helicopter, Russia does. We didnt invent the first jet engine, Germany did, we didnt invent the first internal combustion engine, Germany did. We didnt invent gun powder, china did, we didnt invent fireworks, China did. Are you happy? Did I make a point? I hope I did.

  • We dont have the biggest airplane, Russia has the biggest airplane, we dont have the biggest helicopter, Russia has the biggest helicopter, we didnt invent the jet or internal combustion gasoline or diesel engine, Germany did. We didnt invent gun powder, china did, we didnt invent fireworks, china did. Are you happy, are you satisfied, do you really think all Americans are UN educated and stupid and prideful now

  • We dont have the largest airplane in the world, Russia does, we dont have the biggest helicopter in the world, Russia does, we didnt make the first internal combustion engine, diesel or gasoline. Germany did. We didnt make the first jet engine, Germany did. or the first car, or the first motorcycle, Germany did. We didnt invent gun powder, or fireworks, china did. do you still think all Americans are over prideful or stupid now?

  • americans just take inventions and make them a lot better. but if it werent for the invention, they wouldnt have it. but the american airforce is still the best in the world.

  • @angryace13 no romania made first jet engine in 1910,inventors name is henry coanda,the principle of the jet engine is called the coanda effect,search here before you missinform people :).maybe the germans invented first fighting jet plane

  • God bless America...!

  • Come on, cut them some slack. Can you find any country where an average woman that doesn't work in an aircraft design bureau knows the difference between a centrifugal and axial compressor ?

    Actually, when I think again, it is a little shocking that she thought a jet was just "a faster plane".

    Why do Americans always seem dumb, but it turns out they're not ?

  • Man, I agree they are ignorant. I laughed at this video

  • first jet was made by Germany ,a top secret at ww2 60 years ago, because of that wasnt poblished then british shipped the jet engine to england and started to copy .they named it first jet engine in the world !

  • Have you people never heard of the British inventor Frank Whittle?

    Jet Engine? While a cadet in the early 1930s for the RAF?

    Geez, you yanks are ignorant & arrogant c*nts!

    I guess you dummies think this is an american world?

    All the great ideas, on which the modern world is based, originated in the minds of Englishmen!

    Nice history theft!

    You americans seem to prefer stealing the laurels from the heads of dead heros rather than earning them yourselves!

  • lol? and you arent stealing history with claiming that every great idea comes from english minds?

  • Lets see

    Did you invent the Personal Computer? Internet? E-mail? Digital, programmable robot? What has your space program done lately? When did your first airplane make it into the air 1909? (at least romania managed it in 1906) Did you invent instrument flight? Why doesn't anyone mention your aircraft among the best in WW2? Your most famous aircraft are failures like the Comet and the Miles M.52.

  • were was this video shot at?

  • Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio

  • Im an American and we have to get rid of public schools...a jet has no propellers lady!!! Stop knitting and start learning your history or it is bound to repeat itself!

  • the first country to make and fly a jet engine was the british and the country to invent it was germany but they never got to use it.

  • No German Pabst Von Ohaim made the first running turbine engine a year before Whittle. The Heinkel 178 flew before any other jet and the Heinkel 280 was the first Jet Fighter although it never entered series production. It also can claim the first operational use of an ejector seat.

    The Me 262 was the first production Jet fighter and the Arada 234 was the first proper jet bomber.

    The 262 was used and had many victories. Even the Me163 rocket plane had some mild success shooting down bombers.

  • thats not right......germany flew the ME 262 in the late years of 1944-45......however at that point in the war 20 jets planes wasnt going to do any good against our aramada of p-51's and bombers

  • Germany indeed flew me 262 in 1944-45 because of hitler the plane was ready in 1942 and could be mass produced. Hitler didn't believe in its potential and didn't allow its production until 1944.

  • that's true. The Gloster Meteor was the first jet to fly, we only just beat Jerry to put it in the air.

  • The "German" Heinkel He-178 1939- Was the First Jet. The Me 262 was first Jet Fighter.

    -Civil Air Patol

  • Those Americans seem surprised that the first jet wasn't American.

    Hang on, I just heard a woman say "So is that a definition of a jet? A plane without propellors?"

  • hey one fucking moron dosen't make a country stupid so wtf is the deal with faggots giving us shit about how ignorant the u.s. and yes the U.S.A. sucks for a name because wtf would you name a country united states of the contininte your on well i guess americans are dumb oh well just tellin' ya some arnt however endangered we are lol

  • but they sure can spell!

  • The outcome of World War II would most likely have been radically different if the German LuftMinistrie under Milch had not insisted on wasting Messerschmidt's time getting him to adapt the jet fighter for dive bombing. The 262 could easily have wiped the skies of Europe clean of Allied war planes had it been fielded as what it was intended to be---the best fighter plane in the world.

  • I don't think it would have made any difference. The Schwalbe came too late in the war to make a huge impact. The Luftwaffe barely had the fuel to sustain its prop driven fighters. If Hitler decided 1942 shortly after its first flight, to launch production then maybe the war would have been different.

  • Maybe,but the british jet program was also terribly delayed by the british air ministry and fact is Whittle's jet was a better design that the one in the Me262. The engine in the Me262 was its achilles heal,since it had a short life span and needed lots of service.

    Had the Me262 appeared earlier the allied powers would have sped up their jet program and reigned supreme anyway in the end.

    Also the early jets had worse throttle response than the piston fighters.

  • based on some of the other documentatries of "secret Luftwaffe weapons" i think if the war went on for another year or two the outcome would have been terribly different.

  • had they used it in larger numbers - not significantly large, but 50-60, the war would have ended for them with an advantage. A truce probably...
